Speaks for itself really. Has anyone else been getting this problem where you tab out to do something and when you go back the game crashes?

I think at the moment launching the program "StarCraft II Beta" causes random crashing. Not just alt tab.

Nah not me, I haven't been getting a lot of the bugs people have been claiming. Someone said the windows key gets disabled outside of SC2 as well, I haven't had that problem, also the alt tab issue you speak if I can alt tab in menu and in game (I did many times while I was DCIng) and it was right back into the game. I'm using a mobile ATI card.

I have been having this problem as well, but I managed to work around it. The problem is caused when you ALT+TAB out of SC2 when SC2 and Windows run in different resolutions. To correct this, go to your Windows display settings and change your resolution to match what SC2 runs in. I hope this info helps someone, because it worked for me.
